Zayn managed to escape the calamity in the end. At last, not only did Antony drop any investigations concerning his negligence, he even promoted Zayn. It was completely out of left field for Zayn.However, Zayn was well aware that things were not as simple as they seemed. After all, he committed a serious crime. Even if he was a genius who gained the admiration of Ares and Antony, he was still expected to be punished accordingly.Hence, in spite of Antony promoting his rank, he had just been given a nominal post that did not affect him minimally. Moreover, Antony also deducted three years’ worth of his salary. Of course, he did not mind the salary deduction at all. It was frankly only a formality. Regardless, he was already very pleased with the outcome of today’s incident. He spent the night there and was up early the next day. When he got to the courtyard, he found a short-haired woman who had a slim frame. She was dressed in military garb, and she looked to be especially v
The short-haired woman noticed his movements, and she immediately flew into a humiliated rage as she scolded aloud, “You’re dead!”She attacked him in an even more ferocious and ruthless manner. Every attack she made was lethal, and they were all aimed at the weakest parts of Zayn’s body. Zayn furrowed his brows tightly and said, “That’s enough. My name is Zayn Larson and I’m here to meet Ares and Denali. I’m not your subordinate, enough is enough.”“Shut up! You? A hideous troll like you has the audacity to claim that you’re here to meet Uncle Ares and my grandpa?” The short-haired woman scolded loudly. Zayn felt even more troubled upon taking in the new information. He realized that he was in a predicament. The short-haired woman that stood before him had a terrifyingly powerful background!She was the granddaughter of Antony. How did he manage to get involved with a troublemaker like her out of nowhere?“I’m not lying to you. I’m here to meet Sir Ares and Sir Denali, hones
Zayn felt very speechless that a well-respected, best of the best perfect-class master fighter like him would actually spar with a young female acquired fighter. On the other hand, the young female acquire fighter was clamoring wildly at him. If news of this incident were to spread to others, he would be a joke. In fact, Zayn had even suspected Denali sent this spoiled princess to him today as a form of punishment because his original punishment yesterday was too easy. Zayn felt rather troubled. If this was any other woman, he would punish her accordingly yet it was obvious that this woman was Denali’s granddaughter. He would not have the audacity to act recklessly regardless of how bold he was. “That’s enough. I’m a perfect-class master fighter. You and I are on completely different levels, stop it now!” Zayn spoke in a stronger tone to warn her off. However, the woman refused to believe him at all. She said in contempt, “Perfect-class master fighter? Stop lying! I’m going to
It was Zayn’s first time encountering someone like this. He wondered what an appropriate description would be—clueless or reckless?However, Zayn was well aware that the woman was going to stop at nothing to obtain a taste of his power. “Hmph. If that’s the case, don’t blame me for what’s about to happen.” Zayn changed his posture once more. He quickly sprang forward to hold down the short-haired woman’s shoulders so that her body was weighed down, rendering her incapacitated.On the other hand, the short-haired woman widened her eyes and appeared to be surprised in the meantime. She looked at Zayn with an expression that was obviously not expecting Zayn to actually have the courage to attack her for real. Sienna Hoffman was astonished indeed. One should know that she was like the overlord of the courtyard because her grandfather was Antony Hoffman while she was so close to Paxton that she addressed him as Uncle Ares. With her explosive identity, no one in the courtyard had the c
Zayn was well aware of how indecent it was but he was compelled to do so. He would not have gone as far as to do this if this was some other time. “Hey, troll, let go of me!” Sienna scolded, her tone was obviously tainted with embarrassment, panic and anger. She had never been treated in this manner by someone in her life. It was a disgrace. Zayn did not let go of her immediately because he had no idea if she would be aggravated when he let her loose. “I've already warned you repeatedly. You made me do this.”At a spot in the courtyard, Paxton ‘Ares’ Brookes and Antony ‘Denali’ Hoffman were already awake. They were monitoring the situation in the courtyard through surveillance cameras and they could see how Zayn was lifting Sienna by her leg one handed now. She was hanging upside down and the sight of her was amusing yet indecent. It was fortunate that Sienna was not wearing a skirt or it would be even more embarrassing. Ares said, “Zayn has gone too far. How could he do this
“Apologize.”“You wish!” Sienna was a bullheaded person. She swiftly caught hold of Zayn’s leg and sank her teeth into it. Zayn could not keep himself from yelling in pain. He shouted, “Hey, what the heck is wrong with you?!”Sienna did not show the slightest shame. On the contrary, she was quite proud of herself. She let out a “hmph” and said, “That’s what you get for offending me. I’m warning you to let go of me now. Otherwise, I’ll make you suffer!”Zayn did not dare to kick her away, so he could only step back to avoid getting bitten again.He felt rather troubled. He was absolutely certain that Ares and Denali were aware of this, but they chose not to show up. They were using him to teach the silly woman a lesson. How did he get involved in this? It was rather unfortunate.After another minute passed, Sienna was even more uncomfortable. Her face was flushed and her ears were ringing. When she spoke, she was not as sharp-tongued as she was in the beginning. However, she wa
Zayn’s offer could be considered an act of submission, but the woman only dug deeper and yelled, “I don’t want to get down now. Hold me upside down for the rest of my life if you have the balls! Hmph!”What the heck was going on? He agreed to let go of her, but she was refusing?Zayn was dumbfounded. At first, he was under the assumption that the woman was acting cocky, yet upon closer inspection, she seemed to be quite serious. It made Zayn worry. He felt he had been quite unlucky and was in deep trouble. Judging by her expression, she was obviously very uncomfortable. However, he saw no sign of surrender in her expression. Indeed, she behaved as if she was ready to put up a fight until the end. It concerned Zayn greatly. Given the situation, he would rather concede defeat than lower himself to the madwoman’s level. Hence, Zayn let go of her and said, “Alright. I’ve let go of you, so don’t you attack me again. We’re…”However, as soon as he only loosened his grip, before
Zayn mumbled inwardly. How could he have the courage to stay for lunch with that woman there? Was he not in enough trouble already? Nevertheless, he would certainly not say that out loud. Instead, he shook his head and said with a smile, “I’m afraid I can’t stay for lunch. I still have many affairs in Waltz City that I have to attend to.”Naturally, Paxton could tell what was on Zayn’s mind, so he did not insist. Nodding, he said, “If that’s the case, I won’t keep you any longer.”Zayn let Antony know he was preparing to leave. Meanwhile, Sienna, who had been quiet for a long while, finally spoke, “I’m going to Waltz City with you.”What the h*ll?Startled, Zayn could feel his heart racing for a moment. With Paxton and Antony around, he did not dare to take too much liberty with the madwoman. He could only turn to Antony for help. “Sienna, what nonsense are you talking about? What are you planning on doing in Waltz City with Sergeant Larson?!” Antony shouted, his face grim. How
